Ronbo
Life's short fish bamboo!!
Here is the Rod that I built for the Fred S Burroughs rod raffle to benefit the Flat brook restoration.
The Rod is a Payne 102 taper Hollow Built
8 ft 2 tip 2 piece 5 wt. rod.
Wraps are Chestnut Persall's Gossamer Silk tipped dark Brown.
everytime I wrap a rod with this fine silk I wonder why I put myself thru the difficulty of working with this fine thread. But when the rod is finished I remember why.
The wraps come out a beautiful translucent color and look like candy that was poured onto the rod. Just awesome.
Matching espresso colored agate striping guide.
The real seat is a beautiful and unique piece of Spalted Crabapple with Nickle silver Hardware.
The cork grip is the finest quality Portuguese cork available.
The pics do not do this rod justice as this is one beautiful rod.
Hope you enjoy the Pics. and I'm sure there are still some raffle tickets available.
Here's a pic of the rod at Junction Pool, always like to add a little Catskills flavor to everything I do
Here's a pic of me trying to match the hatch, thought I saw a single midge over the water but nothing was rising.
